A charity based in St Agnes is launching a campaign to unite surfers from all across the globe in a bid to protect UK waves from pollution.
Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) will launch their Global Wave Wednesday campaign tomorrow, May 15.
Partners of the campaign will help secure 100,000 signatures for the charity's Protect Our Waves petition, which calls on the UK parliament to debate the value of surfing waves and locations.
As part of the campaign signatures will be collected from surfers, environmentalists and ocean lovers from the USA, France, Spain, Holland, Australia, Mexico, Portugal and Hawaii.
Global Wave Wednesday will be the first time the global wave protection community has joined forces to highlight calls to protect natural surfing resources.
SAS Campaign Director Andy Cummins said: "It's great to have surfers from all over globe standing up to protect UK waves as part of Global Wave Wednesday.
"Surfers are part of a global community, often travelling to experience new waves in new countries. We believe that UK surfers deserve to enjoy clean waves and we want to be able to promote the UK as a clean wave destination."
SAS are dedicated to protecting UK waves from pollution, marine litter and over-development.
